'Shiraz on the shelf' is real, which means Christmas has come early for mums

By 9Honey| 3 weeks ago

An American comedian has invented her own spin on the Elf on a Shelf by making it way, way more parent-friendly.

One Funny Mother, aka Dena Blizzard, has released 'Shiraz on the shelf: A Christmas WINE tradition' – an actual product that includes a comically large wine glass to hide around the house at night for parents to wake up and find in the morning.

It's a satire of the (sometimes headache-inducing) tradition of Elf on the Shelf, where the elf – a spy for Santa – has to be moved and hidden every night of December.

In the hilarious promotional video for the product, Blizzard says, "It doesn't matter if mums are good or bad, Shiraz on the shelf is always there in the morning… never really hidden, it's left out in the open for a drunk lady to find."

The mum-of-three is then shown shoving her daughter out of the way while she frantically tries to find her glass of wine.

'Shiraz on the shelf' also comes with "the most perfect Christmas poem ever" about a tired mum preparing for Christmas morning.

"Everyone was fast asleep, they didn't care a bit. They knew Mum would stay up late to finish all the s—t," a part of the poem reads.

You can order the set on the One Funny Mother website for $US29.99 ($AUD41). Certainly a good Secret Santa gift for the tired mum/Elf on the shelf hater in your life.
